On this edition of ST Medical Monday, we learn about "Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race," an exhibition that will be on view at The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art here in Tulsa through March 4th. As noted at the Sherwin Miller website, this traveling exhibit, presented by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, "traces this history from the early 20th-century international eugenics movement to the Nazi regime's 'science of race.' It also challenges viewers to reflect on the present-day interest in genetic manipulation that promotes the possibility of human perfection." Our guest is Jesse Ulrich, the newly-appointed Director of Holocaust Education at The Sherwin Miller Museum, who grew up in the Tulsa area and only recently moved back here after several years in Boston.
